New Grower Help guys unknown deficiency

[irishganjafarmer]

Ok guys took better pics.....
Hope they help solve this issue .....
So I've used compost with no perlite so drainage might well be an issue as well as the potassium possibilities because I know the compost had added potassium for fruit growing organic thought was harder to burn....I've been using biobizz grow and bloom npk are quite low....grow is 7/2/3.5
Bloom is 2/6/3 added 2.5 ml bloom with 4 litres distilled water adjustment to ph to 6.7 runoff was 6.5
Also the issue first arose whilst starting grow nutes is it possible the compost has too much nutrients in it already??

You can still use it. They put that poison in all the water. If using distilled def up the calcium.

Bud looks great.

Thanks dude I'm trying hard haha sick of the crap they try pawn off on us here 50 Euro for 2 grams [emoji22]

I actually have a Doctorate in Water Chemistry....

That could be true buddy I've been giving it distilled water and myself drinking tap!! Yes my baby gets better water than me or so I thought see here in Ireland there fluoride added to water supply so didn't think I could use it

Its like the mechanic not understanding what was wrong with his car. I read about the sensitivity of AF's to CalMag, then ignored it when choosing a water. I have my choice of hard, soft, or RO. So far they like my hard water and commercial soil mix + nutes. I will probably just continue with the hard water and switching between veg and flower nutes. If I wanted to overthink it, I'd be doing hydroponics!

Lol and I am a mechanic.....
Yeah I'm moving to tap water for next feed !it is quite hard water in Ireland so should help I do feel like a bit of a moron but there was logic to my retarded thinking....at the time I'd no ph meter and the water I was buying had ph7 so I was using it for the ph [emoji12] derp!!

Ganjafarmer, you are using 2,5ml per 4 l water? And you use nutrients with recommendation 2-4ml/l.

You are now at 0,625ml/l instead of 2ml/l what we normally use around day 35. I think you had just asked for defficiencies and youve got them.

If I am not wrong and you are really using so low concentration feed, it would be miracle not having calmag def. You add very little with your regular food, as well as other stuff more important like N.

So what your saying is I've been grossly underfeeding and have gotten this as a consequence?!
The reason being the solution is so low is that I'm conscious of nutrients in the compost aswell I'd be afraid I'd burn them.....

Exactly.

Compost is not able to support plant during lifetime, at least what I see around in grow diaries.

Your ph does not seem to be off, so underfeeding is one of options. But do not make too quick conclusions and do not trust anybodys answer. Everybody including me is just guessing, because something else might be the reason of your troubles, but we do not see it, or you have not informed us about important facts that you do not consider important.

Well it's all a learning curve at the end of the day I mean you guys have experience I don't! so I'm sure I'll learn as I go on I appreciate the advice and to be honest what I'll probably go with is the harder water until I can get cal/mag and I actually will up the feed see how it goes I'm very over cautious....

So don't bother with the salts?? I was thinking of flushing her tonight even though I only fed her yesterday to stop progress or will this help

Do not do that without knowing more precisely what you would achieve. Flushing is not universal solution. I am just experimenting with it and measuring what comes out, because I have some troubles with hard water and AN nutrients and I can tell you, outcomes are quite tricky.

If your plant is underfed, flushing would make additional damage. Be carefull.

Have you checked your water report on suppliers site? If not, just do that so that you will know forever what you put in. Some hard waters are very damaging, including mine, and I learned that 2 years too late. I have also found that in our area chlorine is not needed and used, so I had sitted thousands of liters of water in vain, loosing time before reading one single sentence in my water analysis.
